膈肌起搏在慢性阻塞性肺疾病患者中的应用进展

Progress in the Application of Diaphragm Pacing in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

慢性阻塞性肺疾病(Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD)简称慢阻肺,是一种慢性气道疾病,其特征是以持续存在的气流受限和相应呼吸系统症状。慢阻肺是一种呼吸系统常见疾病,患病率和死亡率都很高,严重地影响了患者的生活质量。在近年来的研究中发现,膈肌起搏可有效地改善血气及肺功能、促进排痰、有助于撤机、降低呼吸道感染等,提高慢阻肺患者的生活质量。本文就膈肌起搏技术在COPD患者中的应用进行综述。

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic airway disease characterised by persis-tent airflow limitation and corresponding respiratory symptoms. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common respiratory disease with a high prevalence and mortality rate, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. In recent studies, diaphragmatic pacing has been found to be effective in improving blood gases and lung function, promoting sputum evacuation, facilitating withdrawal, reducing respiratory tract infections and improving the quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This article reviews the application of diaphragmatic pacing techniques in patients with COPD.
